Don't be silly Geoff. There's a big difference in playing 2 games in 3 days and being fully prepared to do so.

So how do the teams manage now with playing Good Friday & Easter Monday?

They used to play three games in a week Christmas Day,Boxing Day & New Years Day no subs & the players were part time.

Without Miloudi and Litten this game could become a potential banana skin. They're both players who make things happen and have that little bit of class.

The Hull game at Warrington is played on Thursday this week not at the weekend

According to page 93 of the RFL Operational Rules on Dual Reg item c:1:2:22 (f) states, "The Player is not restricted to playing in one fixture per scheduled round of fixtures in any given week."
